Completed in 2017, IKC de Geluksvogel school in the Netherlands is known for its focus on sustainability and its teaching approach, which centres on the use of technology. In today’s Q&A we speak to Misak Terzibasiyan, the director of UArchitects, the firm behind the design of this award-winning school.

ABC is an effective and engaging hands-on workshop that has now been trialled with great success over a range of programmes. In just 90 minutes using a game format teams are able to work together to create a visual ‘storyboard’ outlining the type and sequence of learning activities (both online and offline) required to meet the module’s learning outcomes. ABC is particularly useful for new programmes or those changing to an online or more blended format.

Oppia's mission is to help anyone learn anything they want in an effective and enjoyable way.
By creating a set of free, high-quality, demonstrably effective lessons with the help of educators from around the world, Oppia aims to provide students with quality education — regardless of where they are or what traditional resources they have access to.
So far, educators have created more than 11,000 of these lessons, which we call explorations. And they serve almost 430,000 students worldwide.
Explorations help students learn in a fun and creative way, using videos, images, and open-ended questions. And since students often have similar misconceptions, Oppia also provides educators the ability to address these misconceptions directly within explorations, empowering them to provide targeted feedback to multiple students at a time.
If you're a student interested in learning with Oppia, you can begin your learning adventure by browsing our explorations.
If you're a teacher interested in impacting the lives of students around the world, you can apply to join our Teach with Oppia program, aimed at providing lessons for topics that students typically find difficult.
By teaching with Oppia, you can improve your skills in communication and empathy while helping to improve education for students around the world. Or, if you're not ready to teach yet, you can still share feedback on lessons to help make them better for other students!
Whether you're a K-12 educator, a graduate student, or an individual who's passionate about a specific subject and wants to share your knowledge, Oppia welcomes you. Join the community and start exploring with us.

If there is a makerspace in your school, it may be down the hall, in the library, or in another building. If there is someone other than the teacher managing the makerspace or there is a schedule for the school, your kids may only be able to use it once a week or month. Some makerspace activities may be focusing on how to use the resources available and may not be connecting the activities to the curriculum or around a real world problem. If this is how the makerspace is set up in your school, then your kids may not have access to the resources, materials, and tools when they need them, especially for STEM or STEAM

The e-Design Assessment Tool (eDAT) is a tool to help tutors represent and evaluate effective blended or distance learning designs. The eDAT combines a simple analysis of the learning activities with reflections on the teaching and learning perspective that underpins the design.

The recent release of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) offers a new challenge and opportunity for science. Science practices are the social interactions, tools and language that scientist use as they construct, evaluate and communicate scientific knowledge. The effective integration of science practices into classrooms can better support a wide range of students, including those typically underrepresented in science, to develop greater scientific literacy.
Effective integration of science practices in classrooms requires instructional leadership to support that change. Instructional leaders can include a variety of different individuals including, but not limited to, school principals, district leaders, coaches and lead teachers. The ILSP team is developing tools to support instructional leaders in the science practices.
Vision
Our vision for supporting instructional leaders in their work with teachers to improve science teaching and learning stems from our approach to instructional supervision and science instruction.
​Our orientation to supervision is rooted in the importance of strong instructional leadership. We seek to support leaders in their work with teachers as they promote a growth mindset, foster frequent and ongoing opportunities for feedback, sustain a commitment to teacher development over time, and engage in collaborative practices.
